3-1. Preface
The transceiver is programmed by using a personal com-
puter, a programming interface (KPG-22A/22U) and pro-
gramming software (FPU).
The programming software can be used with a PC. Fig-
ure 1 shows the setup of a PC for programming.
3-2. Connection Procedure
1. Connect the transceiver to the personal computer with
the interface cable .
Note:
• You must install the KPG-22U driver in the computer to
use the USB programming interface cable (KPG-22U).
2. When the POWER is switched on, you can immediately
enter user mode. When the PC sends a command, the
transceiver enters PC mode.
When data is transmitting from the transceiver, the red
LED lights.
When data is receiving by the transceiver, the green LED
lights.

Note:
• The data stored in the personal computer must match
Model Name and Model Type when it is written into EE-
PROM.
• Do not press the [PTT] key during data transmission or
reception.
3-3. KPG-22A Description
(PC programming interface cable: Option)
The KPG-22A is required to interface the transceiver with
the computer. It has a circuit in its D-sub connector (KPG-22A:
9-pin) case that converts the RS-232C logic level to the TTL
level.
The KPG-22A connects the SP/MIC connector of the
transceiver to the RS-232C serial port of the computer.
3-4. KPG-22U Description
(USB programming interface cable: Option)
The KPG-22U is a cable which connects to a USB port
on a computer.
When using the KPG-22U, install the supplied CD (with
driver software) in the computer. The KPG-22U driver runs
under Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 or 8.1.
3-5. Programming Software KPG-173D Description
The KPG-173D is the programming software for the
transceiver supplied on a CD. This software runs under win-
dows XP, Vista, 7, 8 or 8.1 on a PC. The software on this
disc allows a user to program the transceiver via Program-
ming interface cable (KPG-22A/22U).
3-6. Programming with PC
If data is transferred to the transceiver from a PC with the
FPU, the data for each set can be modified.
Data can be programmed into the EEPROM in RS-232C
format via the SP/MIC jack.
In this mode the PTT line operate as TXD and RXD data
lines respectively.
